Not even Putin could anticipate the scope of Trump's brash incompetence. Putin still attained some of his goals: destabilize American society (stoking culture wars), corrupt liberal democracy's political engine (careful manipulation of misinformation), and divide the international community...

Libertarianism, like anarchism and communism, would probably function well once the selfishly apathetic/ignorant aspect of humanity is removed. As long as people act on such impulses in a relatively unregulated environment, there will be monopolies and strongman militias. Like electing Trump...

Holy shit, that's a lot of material. If a rear-tine tiller isn't palatable, there are concrete trucks that hold 12 yd^3. Might be cheaper and easier overall to have an empty one driven out to you for an afternoon. Only concern would be how to get it hopped into the drum. Bucket brigade? Or...

Well, living soil doesn't need (or really appreciate) typical indoor "drybacks." You just don't want it waterlogged. With fabric pots (even 20g) you might be watering frequently. It really depends on the plant, the ventilation, humidity, the soil makeup, and any mulch/cover plants. I run...

Seems like U.S. adversaries would be more emboldened by the current isolationist sentiments originating from Republican circles. Putin attacked Ukraine after the window of opportinity closed when his asset lost the 2020 election - though I doubt that was the type of point you were trying to make.

That's some serious symmetry with average feature size/spacing!

I see. I can be hypocritical, but don't want to be. I didn't analyze the post too much. The low-hanging fruit got the bushel sold.

Whoa. That article is attributed to Rep. Lauren Boebert and doesn't sound like unhinged insanity. I feel uneasy.

If it's for me, have at it.

Clumsy straw man/goal post move. I'm not a fan of intellectual dishonesty. I'm likely done interacting with you.

I don't see that in the article you linked. The way it is written suggests the prostitutes have self-agency.

If no trafficking is involved, I couldn't care less about prostitution - no matter the parenthetical letter or local legality.

One viable grow method works as well as the next once a system is set up and a rhythm established. I like living soil because I have cheap/free resources readily available, and because once it's all set up, it's just watering and monitoring. I want to try another method maybe someday.

This can work with a living soil. If you're running something more sterile, outdoor dirt invites guests such as weed seeds and bug eggs. Without a living soil to guard against, say, spider mites or aphids, it could become a hassle. Either way, it can be a risk (and one which I take regularly).

A government is a codified structure based on community agreement. And yes, the community you live in can dictate to you. That's the whole point. There are places to live where there is little government. Check them out, see what they're like.

You can put plastic wrap around a fabric pot. Leave the bottom 1-2" open, though.

I hear ya. I try to focus on the arc of time and bias of reality, paying tepid attention to the pendulum.

Sorry for the weird ambiguity. I know of many in younger generations who are turned off by such brash, brutish behavior.

That is one thing for which we can thank Trump - as children are watching.

Perhaps it's splitting hairs, but I perceive one as aligning with Trump for political expediency (due to polls) while the other seeks to ride coat tails of, reinforce, and entrench the Trumpian approach. They are both indictable as supporting fascism.
